ENGR EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED A+
What does ABET stand for? Ans✓✓✓Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology
What is the ABET responsible for? Ans✓✓✓Granting accreditation to
all university engineering programs.
What is the ABET definition of engineering? Ans✓✓✓Engineering is
the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural
sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied with
judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and
forces of nature for the benefit of mankind
Name two elements of the definition that don't necessarily belong.
Ans✓✓✓"economically" and "for the benefit of mankind" might not
belong to the definition of engineering
The textbook shows a gridded cube of engineering positions with
Majors, Functions, and Industry along the sides. What is inaccurate
about this model? Ans✓✓✓In reality, engineers end up wearing many
different hats. For example, electrical engineers need to do some
mechanical engineering and vice versa. Engineers might have to do
design, research, analysis, and testing, all in the same position.
Name some traits of engineers, according to the Moaveni book.
Ans✓✓✓Problem solver, understands fundamentals, analytical, detail
, oriented, creative, lifelong learner, good communication skills, good
time management skills, works well in groups, adept at computers, good
at dividing up problems
Name some additional traits of engineers, according to the instructor.
Ans✓✓✓Honest, can consider problems from top down or bottom up,
seeks to understand not judge, apolitical, good at prioritizing, tenacious.
The last one is considered by the instructor to be the most important for
success in engineering (it will be on the exam)
What are the 5 traditional engineering disciplines? Ans✓✓✓Chemical,
Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial.
Name some relatively new engineering disciplines.
Ans✓✓✓Biomedical, Computer engineering, cyber security
engineering, IT, Systems.
What are some of the specialized areas within Computer Engineering?
Ans✓✓✓Operating systems, compilers, networking, cloud, parallel
processing, security, AI, IT.
What are some of the specialize areas within Electrical Engineering
Ans✓✓✓Computers, communications, circuits, controls,
